Tony Winner Lena Hall Comes to Catalina Bar & Grill

Chris Isaacson Presents has announced that Tony Award-winning singer and actress Lena Hall will be appearing for one show only at Catalina Bar & Grill in Hollywood on Thursday, May 17, at 8:30pm.

In the West Coast premiere of Hall's Art of the Audition: From Falling Apart to Nailing the Part, the audience will experience the ups and downs of a Broadway life through reenactments of her most unforgettable - and regrettable - musical theatre auditions, from epic fails to career-defining "Nailed it!" moments. The show features songs from Wicked, Cats, Sweeney Todd, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Rent, and more. Hall will be accompanied by Sean Alexander Bart.

Lena Hall is a Tony Award-winner and Grammy Award nominee who recently received widespread critical acclaim for her performance of the title role in the feature film Becks, which took top honors at the LA Film Festival. Following her Tony-winning Broadway run in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Hall toured North America alongside Josh Groban on his "Stages" tour and portrayed the dual starring roles of Hedwig and Yitzhak in Hedwig in Los Angeles (LA Drama Critics Circle nomination) and San Francisco. She originated the role of Nicola in the Tony-winning musical Kinky Boots, and can be seen on HBO's Girls, Amazon Prime's Good Girls Revolt, and heard voicing the fan favorite role of Countess Coloratura on My Little Pony. Hall's most recent stage appearance was starring with Marisa Tomei in Lincoln Center Theatre's How to Transcend A Happy Marriage. Lena's two solo musical revues Sin & Salvation, which played the legendary Café Carlyle, and The Villa Satori: Growing Up Haight Ashbury, both received rave reviews and have spawned live albums. Her year-long album series Obsessed began in January with a new EP being released once a month for the entire 2018 calendar year. Up next, Hall will appear opposite Jennifer Connelly in TNT's science fiction epic Snowpiercer.

Chris Isaacson Presents (CIP) has created, produced, and promoted over 700 events since the company's founding in 2004. From small clubs to major theatres, CIP has presented some of the most influential stars of this generation. CIP's summer event in 2016 - Broadway Under the Stars: Celebrating the 35th Anniversary of "Dreamgirls" - was a complete sellout at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in Hollywood. In early 2017, CIP coordinated and produced an elaborate kick-off event at the Pacific Design Center celebrating the premiere of Ryan Murphy's FEUD: Bette and Joan (FX Networks). The Drag-Tacular Live Concert Event featured Tony Award-nominee Sam Harris as host. Niki Haris and Bianca Del Rio were only two of the many stars in the show, which played to a standing room only crowd.
